It’s quite astonishing how Leonardo DiCaprio has this nasty Saturn sitting right on the 10th house of his career/vocation. It’s important that, when analyzing the planets, we see if there’s any congruenity between the planet itself and the house it is living in. Saturn is pretty much anti-10th house unless he is in good essential…
How can an empty 5th house represent an artist like Björk? Let us look at this. By Alcabitius, the cusp of the 5th house falls in Aries, and Mars is exalted in Capricorn in the 2nd by quadrant houses and in the 3rd by Whole Signs, so it is a planet of great essential strength…
Leonard Cohen was born with Virgo rising, which makes him a child of Hermes. In his chart, Mercury is in Libra. By Whole Signs it is in the 2nd house, but by Alcabitius it is still in the 1st, which is the joy of Mercruy, tied to wit, intellect, and reason. The 1st house in…
In Pope Benedict XVI’s birth chart, we see Pisces rising, which aligns him with the archetype of the Christian Age, with Pisces on the Ascendant and Sagittarius on the Midheaven, an age inaugurated with the birth of Christ and lasting until the transition into the Age of Aquarius. We still live in a period in…
A querent asked whether anything in her natal chart could account for the fact that her current year has been marked by repeated financial losses, like sudden traffic fines, sometimes arising from unexpected excessive enforcement by the authorities. Or devices that break apart one after the other. One of the most effective techniques in traditional…
In the chart of Charlie Sheen, Jupiter in Gemini stands out, positioned in the 2nd house by Alcabitius and in the 1st by Whole Signs. This shows that the great benefic, even in detriment in Gemini, operates as a protector of the native’s life, directly connecting the 1st house (life, talent, health, presence, temperament) to…
I will analyse David Beckham’s chart on the destiny, praxis and telos of the 10th house. The cusp is Capricorn, so Saturn rules it, and Saturn is cadent in the 3rd and in fall in Cancer, at the bottom of the chart. This could point to an anonymous and difficult destiny, given the zodiacal and…
When we spend years analysing astrological charts, we see repetition of patterns. One is the strength of the malefic Mars in high-performance athletes. It is worth remembering that Mars signified in antiquity physical force applied essentially to military combat. That martial force was channelled into what the planet signifies best, collision and the annihilation of…
A person contacted me to ask whether there is something in his chart that might explain why several of his relationships keep failing successively. The first step was to look at the 7th house, obviously. It signifies romantic partners, relationships, and marriage. It is Taurus, which means the signification comes from Venus. A good indicator…
António Quadros was a Portuguese philosopher and historian. António Telmo, his fraternal friend, says that Quadros felt unhappy upon being told that his horoscope was of a lunar spirit. The reason is an extremely dense stellium in the 2nd house in Cancer, with the New Moon in domicile. I checked the natal chart of António…
